Well...That was a total waste of time and $41 for steel!
I loaded up the camper and backed up to the trailer. Once put into position with the camper on the truck it appeared that a simple 12" hitch extension would do the deed nicely.
I ran out to Harbor Freight and picked one up for $20 with a 20% off coupon.....

Works perfectly with zero issue of the trailer ever hitting the camper unless I really jack-knife the rig. Ain't gonna do that!

Even the trailers jack is lower than the rear of the camper!
DONE!
This will be filed under "Live and Learn"......or...."Measure Twice, Cut Once!"
Off to Vermont for Cowboy Action Shooting and a bit of Motorcycle Riding!
